Nothing But You, Lord: Reflections on the Priesthood and Priestly Formation Through the Lens of Bishop Robert Barron (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781685781033)

In 1990, Pope John Paul II spoke of a "crisis of priestly identity." Decades later, the crisis is not over, and the lack of a clear sense of priestly identity is the single greatest obstacle to the proper formation of priests today.

In Nothing But You, Lord, longtime seminary professor and formation advisor Fr. John Cush draws on the thought of Bishop Robert Barron to recover the fundamentals of what it means to be a Catholic priest. Fr. Cush explores the qualities and character of the priest; the role of hope amidst priestly abuses and failures; and the four dimensions of priestly formation--human, intellectual, spiritual, and pastoral--outlined by Pope John Paul II.

Featuring a foreword by Bishop John Barres, Nothing But You, Lord is an encouraging return to the basics of the Catholic priesthood.
